Settra the Imperishable 

My favorite thing about Settra is that despite (or because) of how arrogant he is Settra is one of (if not the) greatest rulers humanity has had in Warhammer.

Never bothered to learn this dude's lore before now. My god, what a badass.

Broke: Even in death I still serve. Woke: Settra does not serve! Settra rules!

This guy is literally just a more balls-to-the-wall version of Rameses the Great.

Setra the imperishable is from 1st ed other than sigmar hes the only character that is still as imagined.

“Sees that the video is just shy of two hours” Aren’t you forgetting about half of his titles?

Playing Total War: Warhammer II, whilst listening to this, especially that music whilst sipping Whisky.. Boy, am I chilled the fuck out.

The question still stays is Settra strong enough to survive Games Workshop ?

Good stuff. Settra is a fun character, in that he has the over the top appeal of the haughty kings of Mesopotamia.

My favourite aspect is that his downfall is the same reason he rose to power. He ruled through fear not respect and and fell because there were greater foes to be fearful of. He was so stubborn and willful he rose to what he was and it's that same stubbornness that kills him. It's a consistency of character that I like. Based off what I learned here anyways.

One thing about Settras and Nehekharas history did always made me wonder. At the time of Settras rule the Elves and Drwarfs had vast empires of their own. The Asur especially had many colonies very close to Nehekhara. Settra expanded into lands that on other maps are shown to have been parts of either elven or Dawi empires. Yet we know nothing at all about any contacts between the elves and Nehekharans, prior to the Druchii captives of Nagash. Considering the long lifespan and magic of the elves, the Mortuary cult had to have focused on them, trying to get the magic to prolong life from the elves. We do know that they have it and from the lady of the lake we also do know that elves can prolong the lifespan of humans. Considering that Settras army was using bronze weapons and animated constructs weren't created yet, I doubt that his armies could have fared very well against either superpower and its strange that he didn't use his incredible determination and charisma to get the secrets of steel and magic from them. Also knowing the Asur, they would have traded with such a developed civilization, with many goods to offer. Is there any information at all about contacts between the two elder races and (living) Nehekhara?

You are a legend sotek, you fully deserve your title of lore master, no one comes close in regards to warhammer

Also, great video man. It’s amazing to see you sit there and make those super long videos on the lore. It must take s massive amount of time and dedication to produce these awesome videos! I thank you for that. 😁👍

"... In the land of the dead, I'm dark side royalty. I'm the overlord of the underworld, and you can't take that from me!"

Love listening to your warhammer vidoes, amazing work

Ok, this is tumb up for all these titles on the beginning of the video. And I can watch more... :D Great job! I made to the end of the video - with pleasure - and I must say I love Your narration and all these small details You put into Your videos. This is really nice hearing.

Settra is here, the most badass character in warhammer fantasy, and I love Settra. I possibly think he might been defeated by a unknown entity of Chaos, other than the four main chaos gods.

Thank you for this! I like the combination of Settra's ridiculous stubbornness and dickishness. Unlike with the Dwarfs I find it funny for some reason. It also plays into his struggle against Nagash. I also appreciate his tactical genius.

Wait wait wait wait!!!!! If Settra DIED at the end of the End Times (a.k.a. swallowed by the void), doesn't that mean there's a chance (a HUGE chance *pray's to the gods*) that he might return in Age of Sigmar? I mean Gotrek and the like have returned in AOS, so why not Settra?

Its funny your voice completly changes when your talking about the end-times you can sense your resentment about it existing = )

Love these vids!!! Thank you for the work sir!!!

Really an underrated channel. great job mate.

And suddenly the winged hussars, I mean high elves arrived to save the day ?

Big fan of his absolutely ridiculous number of titles. That and a sun spear is pretty cool.

I love Settra because he is just larger than life, probably one of the best and exceptional humans to have ever live (unlive).

I just came from apparently watching only the old character lore videos. Holy crap this is so much better. And I liked the old ones.

I know you made this, and similar videos, years ago. But I love these types of videos man. Hope one day you release more like them now that we have immortal empires.

Settra saying "Fuck you" to basically his new god lol. Also I'd love to see a video on any of the Lizardmen or Count Noctilus next

His endless will power is what I like most.

Two of the most iconic rulers in the whole Warhammer story are Tomb Kings, Settra the Imperishable as the most arrogant, narcissistic, yet so capable and Khalida, the most benevolent Lord to grace the universe of Warhammer In the end times Khalida was actually given two choices, one of them was to be cast out to the desert and listen for all eternity to Settra ... something she rejected :).

Does anyone know the name of the ambient music?

Excellent video! where can i find the background music?

i think my favorite part of settra is how brutal his chariot charges sound

news flash Settra didnt die, he lived and still rules

Great video as always.

Just a question was settra buffed by only one chaos god or by all 4 of em?

I know there's a lot of people who hate the end times, and I can kinda see why as a lot of it just seemed rushed, but I do like the vast majority of it.

Do you think you will be doing any skaven anytime soon? specifically ol skrolky boy

no one is more eternal then settra except mby the vampires but settra is way older

My fav Caracther of all warhammer fantasy

Could somebody do a live wallpaper with that image please? For android and pc xD

Breaking news: Old angry man literally to angry to die.

You can find the soundtrack by searching " arabian nightfall"

With pharaohs in mind, i dont agree with this picture. He would never step on ground (or sand) mere minions do

I wonder what would be results after Setra fight Acheon or Kholeg. Will his severe curse destroy the opponents?

great work man...you too erik.....i want my memes

Plz do a lore video on the history of the Empire

Whats the music in the background?

Rumors say ettra return in to Aos like a stormcast5

Do you have a better organized system?

Dieter. Dieter Helsnicht. LMAO what a name.

What's the background music?? Its beautiful

Setra you subbern Goat

They should have ended his story, with Settra looking towards the sun.

Where'd all this lore come from

I fucking love your videos bro

Epic.

The End Times Sounds alot like Infinity War 😎 in me personel Opinion it reminds me

As someone who is relatively new to warhammer lore (just started when Total War Warhammer 1 was released), I appreciate these videos so much as sort of a background podcast thing to listen to while I game. The lore in this universe is so expansive and diverse that knowing all of it is a full time job for sure. Thumbs up and a subscribe for you sir. As for what I like about Settra, it had to be his personality. The whole "I will not bend the knee" aspect, even after the Chaos gods essentially saved him from oblivion is iconic to him alone. To have the balls to basically say "I know you're gods, but f*** you anyways" is probably the most badass thing in all of the lore.

Hell yeah! NOBODY makes lore videos like the lore-master himself. 2 hours of pure winds of magic right into my ears.

Warhammer Vermintide 2? $30 Total War: Warhammer 2? $68 The feeling when Sotek releases a 2 hour video on my favorite Desert Daddy? Priceless.

Id like the 40k emperor and this guy to have a conversation

Background music???

Settra : the Angry White Skull on the dune that rants and shouts at the dawn. So memeable ^^ End times in Middenheim short : Settra Yells in the face of the Chaos horde : « Settra Rules ! » The chaos vortex explodes, and the wave of void races forth. As Settra contemplates the void rushing forward to him he exclaims « Settra now Rolls ».

This video made me pause my Vlad campaing and start a Settra campaing, is THAT GOOD.

I got into Warhammer lore through Total War and I've found the lore to be amazing. Your videos are very informative and entertaining. Thank you for making them! Also, Settra is a badass. I love that he just doesn't take any shit from anyone and he's such a monster in war, that even godlike beings were always wary when he showed up. Settra does not serve! Settra rules!

My favorite aspect of Settra is his sheer willpower. He literally doesn’t care who you are, he’ll charge you in his chariot and try to kill you. And he never strays from his goal of ruling. I personally want to see Malekith covered next, as I love the dark elves and he’s probably my favorite character (next to Karl Franz).

Settra is just a badass plain and simple. Talks a good game and can bring in his tactics and skill to back it up. He deserves to rule.

When I killed him with grom on warhammer 2 tw I earned the title "settra the perishable" :D

I still cant wait for Settra to return in AOS. Even if it's just hints from the world that was. Settra would never let Nagash rule the undead unchallenged so it be great to see undead civil war.l

I really like his origin story, it is smth fantasy setting is at its best. We have the story of arrogance that was shattered by reality of death making even the greatest equal to some whatever peasants. Unless you have magic. And instead of getting wise and humble you get immortal and even more badass in death then you were in life. I like stories that start similar to parables that should teach you smth, and are turn upside down to show how fantasy can surpass laws of reality and embody some of the most insane "what if?" fantasies. And also Sethra is one of the few characters who actually stood up for his word, better than even some dwarfs (yes Slayer king, I'm talking to you - it can't be that hard to die in the warhammer world!)

27:08 a Dead King sits upon his Golden Throne... 👀👀👀 Ay I see what you did there 😂

Im here again 2024,for the sublime and hypnotising voice, speach and back tunes. Mmmmm goood shiiiit. Bye insomnia and Godnight all!

Its truly difficult to write an arrogant asshole that people root for. The fact that GW pulled that of- that's my favorite part of Setra.

Automatic subtitles can't figure if Settra is (et) cetera or Citrus The Imperishable Food Product.

Ah yes my favorite best-best tactic: RUNNING AWAY FROM SETTRA SO HE DOESN'T MURDER YOU.

How to kill Settra? Destroy the universe then maybe you'll succeed but have a plan B, just in case.

My fav thing about Settra is his personality yeah sure he’s a arrogant person but he has bite behind his bark quite a lot actually

OMG the music! The video too :) Excellent work. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

*_YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_* Abhorash plz? Kthx. Also, favorite part of Settra: the king does not serve. The king rules. Absolute badass of the highest degree, right here.

as with any human, as soon as you no longer have a deadline (pun intended?) you lose your drive and make little progress as shown with Settra spending literal ages conquering very little. His alive years were productive however.

Didn't know Settra's lore.. now he's one of my favourites characters! Awesome video!

Settra the mother fucking Imperishable is my favorite character from WH. I hope in some lore full way CA bring him back. And My Favorite part of Settra is his Willpower. That man just don't want to knee before anyone. Not Even Fucking Chaos God can make him to obey their command.

Undead battles in the sandy desert, far better than undead battles in a icy desert. That aside Settra is an amazing leader, either in life or undeath he has more ambition to reach his goal than you could image at first glance.

not a total war character lore(yet), but I would love for you to cover Gotrek and Felix or Malus Darkblade stories; although most of them are sort of using 6-7th edition background(which to me is way better than the 8th-end time lore anyways) I think it would be a shame that these awesome characters don't get some attention

Playing the Tomb Kings in Warhammer 2 while listening to this. Love the amazing lore, keep it up.

Amazing video! Watched it so many times hahaha. One thing I would like to know is what is the background music?

1:44:10 I sincerely doubt that he's actually dead. Considering that Age of Sigmar has a habit of resurrecting important characters from the World-that-Was (Gotrek, Arkhan, Eltharion, Lord Kroak, etc...) I'm inclined to believe that we'll be seeing the King of Kings again very soon. There is vengeance to be had, after all.

I was hoping this video would just be reciting Settra's full name, albeit really fast.

Settra, the mummy who is so arrogent but can actually back it up. It's like a guy bragging about his penis size and it's not only as big as he says it is, but every penis pales in comparison and he let's everyone know. I hate the end times for a many of reasons but how they did my king of Kings is a fucking crime. Nagash is a garbage villain who's plans suck and always fail and for him to...eat a god... Like wtf... Settra should have been the Lord of the undead. #Settra 2020.

Settra's past achievements were just a backstory and to put him on stage as a player in the end times.

If I’m learning correctly, and considering the lore… wouldn’t some of the Liche Priests be one of the last living people in Khemri?.

dude this should be a movie wtf is hollywood doing ?

You just gotta love thus guy for his sheer determination, fuck for of this guys arrogance and attitude he does not give up even when all logic says no you fucking can't do that

yo what about Surtha Ek?

So essentially... Settra had a 'I'm not feeling so good' moment along with everyone else at the end of all things?

Amazing loved this one, Settra really was fleshed out and was an outstanding character. Currently doing a Khalida campaign and now I await Settra to kill me for betrayal haha.

Whats the music?

Hey, Loremaster! My favorite part of Setra’s lore would have to be his final battle vs. Nagash and Archon the Black. It seems like such a huge moment in his lore to finally kill his two biggest rivals for good, just to have it be stripped away by some foul magic and backstabbing.

Absolutely love this video, and to answer your end question, my favourite things of Settra are A: just how damn stubborn he is as a lord, unrelenting, resilient and determined, then B: He's still just an aggro little piss baby at the end of the day. Always throwing temper tantrums and if he had actually just damn well died he would've have spawned the Mortuary Cult, given Nagash his way in and all of these terrible things. Alongside Archaon and Durthu this is now one of my favorite videos you've made, any other lords you might focus in on, in the future?
